SUMMARY:NOVEMBER 12th - FIELD TRIP TO THE DUCK RIVER
DESCRIPTION:We will continue our annual tradition of visiting Duck River just before the seasonal closure of the refuge.  By mid-November\, hordes of geese and ducks should be returning to the refuge\, and we have the chance to spot over 20 species.  Duck River also hosts a large population of wintering raptors and we’ll be on the lookout for eagles\, harriers\, hawks\, and falcons.  Duck River is also very good for sparrows\, and we’ll have the chance to find at least 10 species – we will have an optional sparrow stomp though some marshy fields for LeConte’s sparrow and others.  For logistical reasons\, carpooling is highly encouraged.  We’ll meet at the MTA Park-and-Ride in Bellevue and leave at 6:15am; you can also meet us at the refuge entrance at 8:00am.  Please dress for the weather and bring plenty of water and snacks.  If you wish to participate in the sparrow stomp\, waterproof shoes or muck boots are highly recommended.  We should finish up around mid-day or early afternoon.  (Contact information: ms722@bellsouth.net  Please include “NTOS Field Trip” in the subject line.)

SUMMARY:OCTOBER 15th - FIELD TRIP TO BELLS BEND
DESCRIPTION:Fall is a great time to explore the overgrown fields and forest edges of Bells Bend Park.  Bells Bend is a premier location for sparrows\, and by mid-October\, we should encounter several species as they are either migrating through or returning to spend the winter.  We’ll also search for any lingering neotropical migrants.  The morning will consist of a leisurely hike along the mowed paths as we start at the Outdoor Center\, then make a loop around several of the large overgrown fields\, and then back to the center.  We will meet at 7:00am and we should be done by lunchtime. Please note that the grass can be quite wet from the morning dew\, so wear appropriate footwear.  (Contact information: ms722@bellsouth.net  Please include “NTOS Field Trip” in the subject line.)

SUMMARY:SEPTEMBER 24th - NTOS Fall Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:We hope that you will join other members of NTOS for our annual fall count.  This important citizen science project allows us to track long-term population trends of species and can be a vital part of making informed conservation decisions…and the best part – no experience is necessary\, just bring your enthusiasm and a pair of binoculars!  There are routes all around town\, including Old Hickory Lake\, Shelby Park and Bottoms\, Radnor Lake\, Bells Bend\, etc… so pick a count that makes sense for you and count for as long as you you’d like.  For those interested\, please contact Barbara Harris at harrbarbara@bellsouth.net so she can put you in touch with the route leader for the count of your choice.

SUMMARY:September Field Trip - Saturday\, September 10th
DESCRIPTION:As anyone familiar with Middle Tennessee’s avifauna knows\, the Duck River unit of the Tennessee NWR is one of the top birding hotspots in the region.  By early September\, shorebird migration should be in full swing\, and wading birds (herons and egrets) should still be present in good numbers.  Land bird migration should be ticking up as well\, and of course there’s always a chance for a rarity or two.  We will slowly drive around the refuge loop stopping often to scan various pools\, bays\, and pastures for birds.  For logistical reasons\, carpooling is highly encouraged.  We’ll meet at the MTA Park-and-Ride in Bellevue at 6:15am or you can meet us at the refuge entrance at 8:00am.  Please dress for the (hot) weather and bring plenty of water and snacks.  We should finish up in the early afternoon.  (Contact information: ms722@bellsouth.net  Please include “NTOS Field Trip” in the subject line.)

SUMMARY:Saturday\, May 28th - Fort Campbell with Daniel Moss
DESCRIPTION:**Recent geopolitical events have made this a tentative trip as this field trip takes place on an active military installation.  We will provide updates via TN-Birds\, Facebook\, and the NTOS website as we get closer to confirm if this field trip will take place. \nCome join Daniel Moss as he leads us through the back country of Fort Campbell in search of the special species that call this active army post home.  Fort Campbell offers unique habitats within our region the most notable of which is one of the largest remaining tracts of native tallgrass prairie in the eastern U.S.\, known as The Barrens\, and part of the vast Pennyroyal Plain which once covered approximately 3.7 million acres of western Kentucky and north central Tennessee.  In addition to the expected breeding birds\, our main targets will be Bell’s Vireo\, Henslow’s Sparrow\, Grasshopper Sparrow\, Dickcissel\, and perhaps even Bachman’s Sparrow.  The trip should last about half the day.  Please dress for the weather\, and make sure to bring plenty of water and insect repellent! \nWe will meet at 7:00 a.m. at the former Ft. Campbell hunting and fishing station parking lot located at the corner of Lafayette Rd. and 101st Airborne Division Rd. where we will meet up with Daniel.  DO NOT proceed to any of the birding destinations on your own. \nSpecial Notes regarding this trip – the trip is limited to 10 participants\, and will be filled on a first-come first-serve basis.  I will begin with those who were on the waitlist from last year.  NO cameras are permitted\, and I need to provide a list of names to Daniel ahead of time\, so if you wish to participate\, please email ms722@bellsouth.net with the heading “Ft. Campbell NTOS Field Trip”.

SUMMARY:May 14th Field Trip - Larkspur Conservation Area
DESCRIPTION:Come join Tim Loyd as he leads us on a tour of a relatively new birding hotspot in northern Sumner County.  As part of the Highland Rim\, Larkspur contains one of the finest examples of mature hardwood forest in our region\, and together with the adjacent Nature Conservancy property at Taylor Hollow they support one of the highest densities of breeding Cerulean Warblers in Middle Tennessee along with large numbers of other forest breeders.  The area also contains a cedar glade and several grassy fields\, and this habitat diversity supports a high variety of warblers\, thrushes\, tanagers\, and other neotropical migrants.  Larkspur is managed as a natural burial site\, and you will notice several memorial headstones throughout the park.  The gravel trails are well maintained\, but steep in places so sturdy footwear is a must and a hiking stick may come in handy.  We’ll meet at 7:00am at the trailhead; the address is 155 Bear Carr Rd\, Westmoreland\, TN.  From Gallatin\, take Hwy 31E north for approx. 15 miles and turn right onto Phillip Hollow Rd.  After 1.2 miles turn left on Bear Carr Rd; the parking lot is 2 tenths of a mile on the left.  There is a tour of the burial site at 10:00am on the same day\, and the gravel parking lot can only accommodate 8 to 10 cars\, so carpooling will be essential – please make arrangements amongst yourselves.  A good meeting place is the Wal-Mart in Gallatin.  For additional information\, please email ms722@bellsouth.net

SUMMARY:April 16th Field Trip - Burch Reserve at Warner Parks
DESCRIPTION:By mid-April\, many neotropical migrants will be arriving back in Middle Tennessee; some will stay to breed\, while others will continue their northward journey to more northern latitudes.  Come join Graham Gerdeman as we seek out these new arrivals at one of Nashville’s hidden gems:  The Burch Reserve.  Part of the greater Warner Parks system\, it includes overgrown fields\, wooded hollows\, and high ridgetops\, and has been somewhat overlooked by birders since it’s acquisition in 2009.  We will meet at 7:00 am at the trailhead parking lot located at the intersection of Hwy 100 and Old Hickory Blvd. Please wear sturdy footwear as parts of the 2-mile hike involve some relatively steep ascents/descents as we work our way up and down the ridge\, but we will take our time\, looking and listening for birds along the way.  For additional information\, please email ms722@bellsouth.net.
